 We're delighted to advise that this pub is now under new ownership, and is open once again. They are now taking bookings for tent pitches on the adjoining campsite.

Loved this site, spacious and peaceful and well located.
The toilets and showers were spotless and there was endless hot water.
The shop was well stocked and we enjoyed the fresh pastries that could be ordered the day before.
We’ll definitely be back!

Easy to book. Good location, basic facilities were fine and the pub was good.
The waterfall is beautiful but loud at night.
Bus stop outside goes to Snowdon.

Not bad for £6 per night per person, but you do pay for what you get. The toilets and showers were awful and no privacy - its a curtain rail across. When you step outside of the curtain your pretty much into the main block where everyone is waiting.
There is a lot of freedom in pitching your tent which is good, but I can't imagine having to walk to the top of the layered sections. The image on the website is slightly deceiving .The climb up to the top layer would be hard work.
I wouldn't book here again, as the fact that no cars near the tents can prove a problem when you have all your camping gear. Understand it makes it safe for children but towards the end of the day we saw several cars that had been parked for ages so I don't know how strict they are with the parking.
I think the site would be ideal for trekkers and walkers passing through, but if you wanted a relaxing weekend for a couple or family might be best avoided.
The playground did seem a good one, but with no kids I couldn't have an excuse the check it out.
Overall, you do pay for what you get. If you want all the modern facilities and quality shower blocks then at £6 per night you shouldn't expect to find it here.
The staff very friendly and helpful, although very pricey items = which although expected I would pack up essentials beforehand.

Came here on a solo expedition last Winter. Campsite was cheap enough (I think only £6 for a night), and only one other tent on site.
The pitch is a very odd layout however, layered like a set of steps, and certainly wouldn't like to be pitching there in rainy seasons with water running down. Likewise, wouldn't like to be pitching near the end of a step.
Decent running water and powerful hot showers if you pay a key deposit.
Did have to treat the other visitor for hypothermia after the staff refused to let him inside when he had hot and cold shivers at 2AM (could be anything from hypothermia to flu).
There's a pub on-site, and a cafe serving a cooked breakfast and other food through the day. Didn't have time to sample this, but smelt good from outside! Playpark for the pub there for kids too.
If you're walking to the site, then it's hardly in the best location for local walks and such, but is only about 20 mins walk from Betws-y-Coed.
I imagine that the Swallow Falls are lovely in the Summer!

We spent a night here while touring Snowdonia. Although it is technically a 'Tents Only' site, they let you park campers in their car park for £10 a night, with full use of their facilities.
Facilities on site are excellent, with powerful hot showers and heated facilities block. The pub offers great meals and has two bars, both of which were relaxed and friendly. There's also a gift shop, hotel and youth hostel on site. Over the road, visit the Swallow Falls (£1 charge): they are quite spectacular.
Betws y Coed is a 20 minute walk and is a great town, with great places to shop, eat and drink.

Just had two nights at this campsite. We arrived fairly late in the evening without booking. Having read previous reviews we were a little worried. We managed to get on the site, although we had to use the top tear.
Cars cant go anywhere near where you pitch so we had to take all of our gear up a very steep path where we were to pitch. This wasn't too bad as the weather was good.
Toilet and shower facilities are very basic but adequate for a short stay. Area brilliant for walking right opposite swallow falls.
Pub pretty average but heaven sent to get away from the midges, we were eaten alive, nothing can stop them.
Staff were brilliant, a big thank you to the lady who worked at the reception, as we woke up to find the battery on our car was flat. Without asking she called her husband to come out with jump leads to get us going.
Sunday morning we woke up to torrential rain, as the car was a long way from the tent we had to take everything down a muddy hill to load up soaking wet, not good. We would come again as long as we knew it would stay dry.

Not sure I agree with previous reviews, maybe things have improved. Camping is on terraces behind the rather super playground to the pub / hotel.
The main road mentioned is behind a large fence, so no problems letting the children play, plus you can see the play area from the terraces.
The Swallow Falls itself is fantastic, just across the road, but if you like peace don't try and sleep here, you can hear the roar of the water loud and clear as if it's coming to get you. This being the case you can't hear your fellow campers, but while we were there everyone was great and the young groups were no trouble at all.
The site was very sheltered in what had been a very windy weekend. The showers are not for the prudish, but hot and free.
Only down side really is the steepness of the terraces that whilst well drained themselves, it does make it interesting when the paths up and down get muddy; the inconsideration of someone had left the washing up sink a tad unpleasant, hubby had to clean it before he could face using it, and for some reason poor old dog had to pay the same per night as a child, which is a lot out of his bonio money.
For a one or two night stopover we would return.

Good pitches for wet weather but you do have a trek if pitching on the ledges higher up. There is no parking next to pitches. Staff at swallows falls were friendly and helpful.
Shower and toilet block are small and don't look to be cleaned very often. Usual rules of no noise after 11 are kept to.
The surrounding area is beautiful, with swallow falls just across the road and betws-y-coed a 5 minute drive away. Also National forest just next door.
